Cement: choosing well

Working in cold weather

Mortar and concrete should not be laid when temperatures are near freezing. Protect fresh work from frost.

Storage

Cement goes off if it gets damp. Keep bags on a pallet, covered and off the ground, and order what you will use within its shelf life.

Quantities: a worked example

Laying 750 bricks at a 1:4 mix takes about 7 bags of 25 kg cement and 0.7 tonnes of building sand. Try the mortar calculator
